Dear Members

This is a letter to inform you of some very important and exciting changes that will move our club forward in 2017. Maleny Rangers Football Club are proud to be investing in our youth and have formed a partnership with K3 Coaching to offer all players from Under 6 right up to Under 18 access to the Maleny Rangers Football Academy.

K3 Coaching is run by the Nix Brothers who are former England Youth Internationals and professional players who are passionate about helping to move our club forward. K3 Coaching and the Maleny Rangers Football Academy will, for the first time, provide professional technical coaching to all our players. We are extremely proud to be able to offer an academy such as this. I believe this is a first for football on the Sunshine Coast; while other clubs have established academies for elite players, the Maleny Rangers Football Academy will be accessible to all players, of all abilities, as part of their membership.

As of the start of February 2017, K3 Coaching will be training all of our players on a Monday afternoon. This will be done in 3 different time-slots from 3.30 to 7pm depending upon age. These sessions will be included within the fees for the 2017 season. Regular coaching from Under 8 up will also be held on their nominated day with their team coach.

Our club fees are still one of lowest on the Sunshine Coast and now, combined with the academy, represent greater value to all of our members with our new coaching second to none.

The following are our fees for the 2017 Season :
• Under 6 and 7 – $110
• Under 8 and 9 – $275
• Under 10 and 11 – $295
• Under 12 to 18 – $320
• All girls Under 12 to 18 $250
• Womens – $380
• Men & Over 35’s – $400

If you need some financial assistance to register players Under 17, applications for a $150 State Government “Get Started” vouchers open on 25 January 2017. You can find more here.

Please be sure to sign on as soon as possible to enable the club to organise numbers and ensure that players are able to access the academy without any additional costs as the training is only available to registered players.

If you have any questions you can call me directly on 0410 566 459 or speak to either of our coaching directors, Dean Pearce 0403 229 201 or Scott Whitaker 0404 100 358.

We will also be conducting two information days:
Saturday morning, 28th January 2017 at Maple Street Kiosk; and
Saturday morning, 4th February 2017 at the Showgrounds Pavilion.

We look forward to an even more successful season than last year, we know you won’t be dissapointed!
